The most extreme and intense ski jumping tournament in the world

RAW AIR is a ski jumping tournament where the athletes individual scores make up the total. Each contender will face 10 competitions within the course of 10 days, with a total of 16 counting ski jumps. RAW AIR takes place in four different cities in Norway. NRK is the producer and official broadcaster, and will air all competitions in prime time.

The central characters are the athletes; their battle against raw Norwegian nature, against their own fear and the different slopes’ gravitational forces. All this forms the basis for a spectacular tournament.

Hills

Some of the world's most spectacular hills in raw Norwegian nature. Starting in Holmenkollen, continuing on to Lillehammer, then to Trondheim before finishing off in Vikersund.

Days

That changes ski jumping. Each contender will face 10 competitions within the course of 10 days, with a total of 16 counting ski jumps. This is a tournament where the points for the qualification and individual points in team events counts together with the points from the individual events.

Rest

The athletes will have no time to rest! That is why we call this the world's most extreme ski jumping tournement ever! Experience the thrill and excitement 10 - 19 March!
